    ADICCIÓN A LOS VIDEOJUEGOS Y LA AUTOESTIMA EN LOS ADOLESCENTES

    Video game addiction in adolescents manifests itself as a strong dependence and obsession to play. On the other hand, self-esteem refers to how a person values him/herself and feels capable of facing life's challenges. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between these two variables. The study sample consisted of 103 participants, ranging in age from 14 to 16 years. This work has a quantitative-no n - experimental approach with a cross-sectional design and correlational scope. For data collection, the GASA-Short test version adapted to Spanish by Llorel et al., (2017) and a Rosenberg self-esteem scale (RSE) originally developed by Morris Rosenberg (1965) were used. The data were analyzed using Spearman's correlation test using the statisti c a l program Jamovi version 2.3.28. The results showed that there is no relationship betwee n self-esteem and video game addiction (Rho= 0.019 p>0.05) suggesting that both adolescents with high self-esteem and those with low self-esteem may develop video game addiction in similar proportions.
